National Historic Site

The church is the oldest in the North of Canada. The construction began in 1856 and ended in 1885 by a group of Oblate Missionaries.

The church from the outside looks relatively unassuming, with a simple white design that you could see in many churches across the globe. What sets this church apart is the interior, with its extraordinarily bright and elaborate frescoes.

Please note that the church is currently a historic landmark, yet service is still regularly held. It will be difficult to enter the church when there is no service. You must find the caretaker of the building to enter.
